Structure of Fire Rated door

When a fire emergency strikes, nothing is more important than ensuring the safety of the people inside the premises. And while many factors to consider—like having adequately trained security guards and reliable fire alarms—one of the most effective tools are fireproof doors. Modern buildings often require fire-rated doors to abide by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) mandates. These doors surround staircase and elevator shafts to help keep smoke or fire from spreading through numerous building floors.
On fire ratings, you may see several minutes or hours. It is the fire endurance rating, which the certifying agency gives after exposing the door to extreme temperatures reaching as high as 1,925° F (approximately 1,000° C). You’ll see these in intervals of 30, 60, 120, or 240 minutes, while some labels show hours. Fire rating labels are typically found on the hinge side of the door and the door frame, hidden from view.
There are many different fire door ratings. Wooden-rated doors, for instance, come with a 30-minute rating – it often carries this label because they’re commonly found in residential buildings.
Fire-rated doors themselves can be either made from wood or steel. Steel fire-rated doors typically have higher fire ratings because they are non-flammable and don’t contribute to the flame – no matter what situation arises. Wooden fire-rated doors are usually equipped with a gypsum core, which is resistant to heat and not combustible, or they may contain a regular plasterboard instead.
